Now, attention turns squarely to the PSL elections, slated forJuly 25, whereIsaiah Mupfurutsa(Simba Bhora),Masimba Chihowa(Manica Diamonds), andDumisani Sisale(FC Platinum) have emerged as frontrunners for the chairmanship.
Each contender brings a distinct leadership style, track record, and vision to what is expected to be the most consequential PSL election in years.
Isaiah Mupfurutsa, chairman of Simba Bhora, is no stranger to PSL corridors.
A former executive at Dynamos and a current member of the PSL Emergency Committee since 2018, Mupfurutsa blends traditional football experience with insight into emerging club models.
He confirmed his candidacy and positioned himself as a continuity candidate ready to introduce modern innovations. “I am glad to say I submitted my papers and yes, I will be vying for the PSL chairmanship,” Mupfurutsa said. “I’ve been part of the PSL leadership for years now.
From Dynamos to Simba Bhora, I’ve seen the internal workings of the league.
I believe it’s time to step up—for continuity and innovation. ”
Analysts point to his strong corporate background in banking and insurance as a key asset.
They argue Mupfurutsa is well-suited to unlock commercial partnerships, professionalise club governance, and stabilise the PSL’s financial footing.
Masimba Chihowa, the soft-spoken chairman of Manica Diamonds, is widely respected within league structures.
Also a member of the PSL Emergency Committee, Chihowa is viewed as a steady hand and a seasoned executive with a passion for order, compliance, and structure. “I submitted my nomination before the deadline.
I’ve been in the PSL executive setup for a long time now, and after consultations with fellow governors, I felt it was the right time to step forward,” he said.
Chihowa’s platform centres around strong institutional frameworks.
He is said to favour rigorous adherence to CAF and FIFA licensing requirements and wants to see the league’s long-term sustainability anchored in good governance. 🔗 Read Full Article
